Hi Lorraine,

Greetings from the Critique Club...

What first strikes me about your shot are the colors of the sky (really nailed that blue). Sadly the train plays second place (could be a bit punchier/lighter in order to stand up to the sky) but because it takes up most of the frame, the impact of the shot is less (and why, IMHO, you placed in the middle of the pack in the challenge). The back of the train didn't help you out any -- the plain, flat back with the grid doesn't add any visual interest or accent.

You have created a great sense of perspective with the train's lines leading deep into the shot. Going from right to left adds a bit of tension. The yellow accent draws my eye and enhancing your point of view. The hint of great scenery far in the distance gives my eye something to wonder to and wish I could see more of.

Please pm me if you have any questions or comments. I hope this was somewhat helpful.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work in future challenges.

Theresa

Nice angle, nice sky, and nice framing. I think the light is a little harsh, maybe a different time of day would be better for that. Nice shot otherwise...
